served Him Right.

There was one man who didn't take
kindly to the late accident on the West
Shore by which dozen OF more trunks
were smashed aud their contents
ruined
When the passengers we're notified %
exhibit their checks and make a state
ment of damage this man exhibited his
piece OF brass and declared that nothing
less than $500 would make him whole.
" Pretty valuable trunk, remarked
the official.
'' Yes. sir; 1 was going to Europe for
a year"
The passengers gathered at the wreck
ed car TO identity what had been saved;
and as the parcels were handed down
the numbers Of the checks were called
of.
Pretty soon out came a thin, lean,
cadaverOus old carpet-bag which did
not seem to contain more than a shirt
and pair Of socks, and as the number
OF the check was Gale the Official con-
man:
This is your baggage, sir?"
" Yes, ] think so"
That's the $500 trunk going to
Europe with you?"
q" Yes, that the one"
There was a general laugh at his eN-
pense, during which he retTeated To the
paSscuEor-car.
Some one presently asked him how
he came TO MAKE sucu a 90 mistake,
and he replied:
Why, don't We know, 1 supposed the
car and everything in it had been
smashed to bits. l never did have luck
nohow in these railroad smash-ups.'

A Gallant Pickpocket.

A New York Fifth avenue belle went
to the theatre. On returning home after
the performance she discov red that her
breastpin, which was quite valuable, mad
been stolen. She was very sorry, for the
breaStpin was a present.
A few days afterwards the young lady
received the following letter:
''The writer OF these lines has the
honor TO inform you that he knows where
your breastpin is, and viii return il
cheerfulIy under certain conditions.
Z" l DO not expect TO receive a reward
10 money, since l regard IL a. exceed

pressing a kiss on the aforesaid hIs,

questions asked Siguedl-On Of your

The young lady did not know what to
do. She wanted 70 get her breastpiu
price. She hit upon the idea Of sending
her servant girl il her place.
The servant girl put IN an appearance
at the appo ntei hour and place. She
was heavily veiIed.
A weil-dressed gentleman approached
and asked:
.' DO you accept the terms?
O. do"
The stranger .amiliarly embraced her
on the European plan, and simultane-
ously imprinted a large three by seven
kiss on her mouth, that caused the po-
hcemau on the corner to start. He
thought it was Il pistol shot.
=" Here is what l promised" he re-
marked after the formalIty had been
complied with - but he added, ''you
Will lind it like the kisS-not quite what
it was represented TO be, as you are only
the servant, not the mistress" handing
her something wrapped up in paper.
After he had retired, which he did i'm
mediateIy, the servant examined the pa
per and found that it contained only
small piece of wood.

GOING TO SCHOOL.

There's an army that musters its legions
And marches to rOll-caQ each day:
And happy and hlest are the regions
I Which lie in the army's bright way.
They troop over hillock and hollow.
They spring across brookIet and pool.
And gayly and cheerily follow
The summons which bids them to
school.
By thousands the army is numbered.
Its ~Oldiers are fresh as the morn;
Not one is by sorrow encumbered,
Not one is by care overborne.
at decima.s sometimes they stumbled
And sometimes by verbs are per-
picked;
And the proudest grows saddened and
humbled
When question is passed to thenext.
But forgot at the briefest vacation
Are problems and puzzles and prose,
The grief Of the stern conjugation,
That late was a fountain OF woes:
And the army goes back TO its duty
The hour hat the play time is done,
ResUlendent in love and in beauty.
Unmatched meath the light Of he sun.
They gather. this wonderful army,
L. field and in grove and in street;
Their voices are music to charm me,
SO ringing and eager and sweet.
Their cheeks are as red as a cherry.
Their eyes are as pure as the day,
And the sound OF their marching IS
merry,
Whenever they pass on their way.
There are people forever assigning
And saying the world is all wrong:
But somehow their doubts take to flying
A, the sight of thi7 wonderful throng.
The world may be clouded and weary,
OF trouble and toll may be full,
But at least there is hope where the

a Guest Of "OId Hickory" at the White


Not long ago I heard an old gentle
man tell with great delight Of how he
was guest at the White House.
It was during Andrew Jackson's first
term. His father was an ardent admirer
Of Jackson, and insisted that the son,
then Just OF ace should make a pilgrim
age 10 Washington for the sole purpose of
seeing the old hero.
They lived at Erie, Penn, and the long
Journey had TO be made on horseback.
The young man took the tedious ride,
and, after refreshing himself at a Wash
ingtOn hotel. went up to the White
House and asked 10 see the President.
When he was admitted he told Jackson
that he had ridden all the way from
Erie to see him The president asked
his business. and was highly pleased
when he was told that the object of the
visit had been accomplished in obtain
ing an Interview.
jackson asked where the young man
was stopping, and on being told. insisted
on sending down for his horse and sad
dlehacs and retaining him as a guest at
eWhite House. For a week the young
Pennsylvania enjoyed cold HickOry's"
hospitality.
On the morning of his departure his
horse, with the saddlebags across his
back, was led in front of the White
House. and the President came out as
any good old farmer would have done, to
shake hands and wish him a safe journey

Imitation in Fashions.

II is 20 the advantage Of that large
section Of tho people who make their
livelihood 10y supplying the rest OF the
world with clothes that fashions should
change quickly, 80 that new clothes
NAV bc bought before the old have been
worn out, because the latter have be-
come of.tre.
ON the part OF some people there is
constant demand for novelty. they do
not like to wear things. limitations of
which have been obtained by =" Jack
Tom and Harry or " Mary. Jane and
Eliza"
Consequently, the tradesman's brain
is busy to devise the novelties which are
in demand. Failing this demand he
viii devise a novelty all the same, and.
carefully introducing il to a select
few, he knows that by imitation large
demand for it will soon be created.
Now, 10 devise a real novelty Is some
thing which requires positive genius,
and as this commodity is rare, the
majority of the new fashions which are
constantly appearing are, in reality, only
notifications Of bygone styles.
Thus il is with the well-knOwn
90 mashcr" collar, hat and stick, with
the dancing pump and Queen Anne shoe,
with the crinolette and padded shoulders
and hips.
A prediction has been made to me by
the head of a fashionable firm that
crinolettes will be all the rage during
the season of 1856 and, although it Is
devoutly to be wished that this will not
be the case. it is highly probable that
the prediction will be fulfilled, for the
style OF 1885 has led up to it, and trade
influence can accomplish the rest.
As the American said: 1t is never
safe to prophesy unless you know, and
the prophet in this case had made up
his mind to make large sale of the
article in question. The Quakers ad-
vice to his son Make money, my
boy! honestly, if you can; but make

of this stamp, for they have long fol
lowed it implicitly.

OF INTEREST TO SUFFERERS.
Facts Which Nav BE of Service to Sufferers
from the Habit of Stammering.


Stammering is an affection Of the
vocal organs. causing a heSitancy and
difficulty Of utterance. The best author
tiles now regard its origin as distinct
from any physical defect.
There can be no doubt that the i'm
pediment is aggravated by physical
weakness OF debility OF any kind, but
these Influences have nothing 10 do with
the primary cause OF the infirmity.
A nervous dread Of speaking Is
usually associated with stammering
but this is rather result than a cause
II constitutional nervousness was pro
ductive OF stammering the number of
cases would be much greater and in
clude an excess Of females over males
whereas the fact is that men furnish by
far the greater proportion Of those so
affected, besides stammerers are not
in general persons Of weak nerves
otherwise than in the act of speaking.
Nervousness is associated with speech
in Stammcring because of the conscious
ness that the defect is made the subject
OF observation.
The strength of the impediment lies
in habit, in miSmanagemcnt Of the
breath and organs OF utterancc. rem
dered habitual in extreme youth: and
the removal of the defect depends upon
the requirement of voluntary control
Children have often been known to be
infected with the habit by the most
casual example. IT, on the first appear
ance OF this defect on the part Of a
child, parents and nurses were careful to
check it by patient direction and in
structiOn, an unfortunate habit of a
lifetime might always be prevented.
Stammering usually makes its appear
ance at about the fifth year, but harsh
yEifh sn Il
especially if there is constitutional tim
idity combined with natural SlOwncSS Of
mental action, may induce it at even a
much later period.
The varieties of stammeTing are very
great Sometimes there is great mus
cular disturbance and a painful effort to
articulate certain letters. This trouble
arises from disordered respiration and
disappears when the habit OF closing the
CLOTHS is overcome and the air is
allowed to pass freely in and out of
the lungs.
Another trouble consists in the re-
iteration Of syIlables before words can
be fully formed. The source of this
difficulty arises from the habit OF irving
to speak with the mouth rather than the
throat. All effort Of speech should pro-
cCed from the throat. and when this
change is made, fluency can be easily
regained.
Stammcring is in nearly every case
quite durable by the cultivation Of "a
habit Of correct speaking. This can
only be acquired 10y studying the pro
cc-seS OF speech. the relation of breath
10 ar-iHUlatc sound. the position of
the tongue and other vocal organs
and "a patient application of those
principles in slow and watchful
exercise.
TIE lungs constitute a pair Of bellows.

says:
'' For my part. I could never quite un-

An unarrested burglar gives employment

also to surgeons. coruuers, UndeTtakers,

is in custody the services of a whole

The full-grown horse possesses twen-
ty-fOur back teeth, that IL SIX In each
side OF eacn jaw; these are called mol
ars or grinders. He has twelve front
teeth, that is six In each jaw. Mares
have no tushes.
Tie fual has either at its birth, or
shortly aiterward, eight milk teeth, that
is, four in each Jaw; at about twelve
months two more mix teeth come in
each Jaw. These remain unchanged
till he is three years old.
The mouth of the yearling and two
years old cannot be confOunded. The
yearIing mouth shows no signs of use,
and the corner teeth are shells only; at
two years old these teeth are strong and
well grown, and the corner teeth filled
up.
A little before three years old the two
centre teeth of each jaw fall out, and are
replaced Dy permanent teeth.
A little before four the two teeth on
each side OF the centre teeth are replaced
by permanent ones.
A little before five, the two remaining
teeth ~re shed, and in their place come
permanent ones.
The upper milk teeth usually fall out
first.
Thus the mouth is complete as to its
front teeth the corner tooth, however,
is but imperfecJIy developed, being at
years old has filled up, and is a com
plete tooth. This i the difference be-
tween five and Sky ear-Old.
The tushe5 appear between three and
a half years and four years old, and
they take nearly two years TO arrive at
their full growth. These teeth, as the
horse grows older, get bIunter and
shorter, and 20 to an experienced judge
are sure indication OF age.
Up to six years old the mouth is in
a distinct and periodical state of strucJ-
urul change. There is 10 difficulty II
determing the age up TO that date.
After that the age must be judged by
the shape of the mouth and the
appearance of the teeth called the
mark.
At six years ofage the cups leave two
centre teeth above, at seven the next
two above. and at eight the outer or
corner ieeth above.
At nine the two centre teeth below
lose the cups, at ten the next two be-
low, and at eleven the outer or corner
teeth below.
After a little practice the close
observer can scarcely make mistake.
The changes that occur are the same in
all horses, or nearly so sportsman.
